Sun King Rising debuts an intricate set of Southern Soul songs on his latest album release “Signs & Wonders."
Sun King Rising is the brainchild of John Blangero. A singer, songwriter, and piano player who resides in Texas, Sun King Rising combines various genres and musical influences as he brings a new wave of Southern Rock and Soul music to center stage. On the record, you will experience Blangero's strong and enticing vocals that carry each and every song over a heavenly and vibrant bed of guitars and rhythm. His sound is eclectic as he stays true to his vision while creating music that immediately resonates to the listeners.
Blangero’s southern family culture and values form the backbone for his music which are evident in "Signs & Wonders." As he takes inspiration from his generational icons, his music combines the literary genius of William Faulkner, the bluesy compositional brilliance of George Gershwin, the blue-eyed soul of Elton John, and the funky rhythms and horns of '60s-'70s Muscle Shoals. The album reveals Blangero’s southern noir stories that are set to music. This is done alongside a cast of colorful characters, intrigue, tales of sin and redemption, murder without justice, and love without limits.
Sun King Rising's new album "Signs & Wonders," is out now, with more to come in 2023.
